Are you processing or intending to process personal information?

1.1   If the answer to that is yes, ensure you confirm whether or not you need to notify to do so under the terms of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 which protects individuals against abuses involving personal data.

1.2   Failure to do so may mean you are committing a criminal offence - as a new business, can you afford to take that risk?

1.3   Protect yourself by either contacting this department for advice, or alternatively you can access the legislation itself as well as guidance on our web-site www.oicjersey.org from where the necessary documents can be printed.

1.4   Demonstrating commitment to privacy not only ensures compliance with legislation, it can also become a competitive advantage as consumers are increasingly concerned about both on and off-line privacy. If you are setting up a new web-site, contact us for advice about including Privacy Policy Statements and Personal Information Collection Statements.

1.5   You can contact us for specific or general advice, as well as arranging tailor-made presentations about data protection and privacy issues for both staff and managers.
